If the question made sense, in relation to the story, there might be a response. But since the good gentleman is determined to introduce opinions without even being aware of even the most basic facts about this story (ie there are sidewalks in the neighborhood, and that Zimmerman stated he was following the kid on a "cut through"), then what's the point until he gets to readin' sum mo?
How does "cut through" translate in your world to "public sidewalk?" In a gated community? Even sidewalks are not "public" in a gated communiti according to Florida law, that's the point.
